Her fingers worked to unhook the buttons, then his zipper. After peeling his shirt and pants off, she slid his boxers down. Already semi-erect, he watched her through a haze of desire. He had no idea what to expect next, and helovedit.
“I want to kiss every inch of you…” She leaned over and grazed his abs with her lips. “Every hard muscle…” She nipped at his chest. “And every valley…” She kissed the dip where his thigh met historso.
He lay back, enjoying the rasp of her tongue across his nipples, across his neck, then across his mouth. He cupped her butt through her jeans and pulled her up so he could tease the contours of her mouth with his tongue. She moaned as he swept his tongue across hers and whimpered when he suckedgently.
She pushed back to straddle his waist. In a slow, seductive display of pure feminine power, she stripped. Sweater, shirt, bra, pants, panties... as each layer came off, his cock hardened to the point of being almostpainful.
Desperate to be inside her, he grabbed her hips and tried to pull her over him. She pushed him back, leaving her pussy just out ofreach.
Hegrowled.
“Not yet,” she said with a mischievouschuckle.
“Don’t tease melikethis.”
“I won’t. Ipromise.”
As she slid down his body, her breasts brushed across his cock. The contact sparked bolts of need throughout his entire body. This striptease was going tokillhim.
When her mouth reached the curly patch of hair over his cock, she slowed. With long, luxurious strokes, she licked him from base to tip and back. A single drop of pre-cum formed on the head before she swiped it away with hertongue.
As she closed her mouth over him, he tensed. Oh shit, she was going to make him come. He tried to think about anything but the velvet slide of her mouth againsthiscock.
After gliding up and down, deeper and faster, he couldn’t take another second. He grabbed her hair and dragged hermouthaway.
“Mine,” he grunted before rolling her ontoherback.
She spread for him, open, willing, wet. God, she was so wet. Liquid desire spread across his fingertips as he slid them against her clit. He teased and tempted her pussy until she writhed and begged him to make lovetoher.
But as he positioned himself at her entrance, she pushed him over and rolled him onto his back. She interlaced her fingers with his and undulated against his cock. The temptation to plunge into her was overwhelming. He couldn’t resist. As he surged up, she sat down hard, forcing his cock deeper than he ever thought possible. She tossed her head back in ecstasy, while smoothing her hands over her breasts. He leaned up and captured one nipple betweenhislips.
She rose and fell, advanced then retreated, never letting him slip away. His heart burst with love as he watched her through half-closed lids. She bit the edge of her lip and closed her eyes while moaning his name. It was enough to drive him insane withhunger.
He rolled her onto her back and plunged into her again and again, each time sliding closer to the point of no return. But he wouldn’t come without her. He shifted his hips, putting pressure on the sensitive spot that drove her wild. She clung to him. Her cries became a symphony of passion until one final scream tore from her lips. She clawed at his back as pulsing waves of ecstasy drew him into the softness ofherbody.
As much as he wanted to prolong her pleasure, he couldn’t hold back a second longer. He filled her with everything he had, before collapsing against her still-quiveringbody.
Her skin glowed with radiant contentment. She looked even more beautiful tousled and thoroughly taken. His bear curled into a sleepy ball in his chest, satiated by the knowledge that she would be his—now andforever.

Kate satinside the oldest jewelry store in town. A week ago, she never would have dreamed she’d be looking for an engagement ring. Now, as she admired a multitude of rings, her hands balled into fists and rested in her lap. Getting engaged hadn’t seemed like such a monumental step forward until now. She’d been so swept up in his proposal that she hadn’t really considered the long-term implications. Was she really ready to beawife?
Diamonds, rubies, and sapphires glittered in a rainbow of colors. She’d been staring at the case for ten minutes and had no idea which one to pick. But even worse, she wasn’t sure if she wanted to go throughwithit.
“Pick any one you want, honey,”Logansaid.
“There are so many, I don’t know how I’ll ever choose,”shesaid.
“Do you want to go with something traditional, or something modern?” Edwinasked.
The ancient proprietor had owned the store for decades. Everyone in town knew him as the kind old man who could make any rock sparkle with a thousand facets of light. He shifted in his chair and leaned back fromthecase.
“I like the idea of something classic, but I don’t want a plain ring. I want something unique.” She took a deep breath. Of course she wanted to marry Logan; she was just letting her nerves get the betterofher.
“Do you like sapphires?” Edwinasked.
“Yes. I love their bluecolor.”
